City’s Best Divine Doctor

18: Chapter 0018: Stark Contrast 18: Chapter 0018: Stark Contrast “You, you pervert, what are you trying to do?”

Since last night, Li Qianqian had felt her soul return, no longer witnessing two souls hovering above her head watching her.

However, when she regained consciousness last night, she was still somewhat disoriented, or even had been up until just now.

“Miss, I was just treating your illness, didn’t you know?” Ye Qiu said.

Only then did Li Qianqian remember that last night, she had felt her soul drifting further and further from her body.

She saw her mother clutched her father, crying.

Then she saw a young man standing before her, saying something she didn’t understand, and gradually her soul returned to her body.

“Were you really treating my illness?” Li Qianqian asked.

“Why don’t you look at the contrast between your upper body and your lower body?” Ye Qiu said indifferently.

The upper body of Li Qianqian, which he had just treated, had muscles restored to normal, becoming as fair, smooth, and elastic as before she fell ill.

But her lower body, even her back that hadn’t been treated, now had atrophied muscles and was dull, yellow in complexion, resembling the skin of an elderly person.

“What were you doing just now?” Li Qianqian asked.

“I was trying to make that area recover as well.

But since you doubt my medical skills, forget it, I won’t treat you anymore,” he replied, speaking languidly.

It seemed that Li Qianqian’s skepticism had upset him.

Li Qianqian knew that Ye Qiu had indeed been treating her.

Otherwise, why would there be such a big difference between her upper and lower body?

Ye Qiu prepared to stand up and said to her, “Since you doubt my medical skills and character, I won’t treat you anymore.”

As Ye Qiu was about to leave, Li Qianqian grabbed him and said, “How can you do this?”

Given Li Qianqian’s current condition, with such severe atrophy of the muscles in her legs, full recovery would take at least half a year, during which time she could only go out in a wheelchair.

However, Li Qianqian did not know how Ye Qiu had managed to restore her atrophied muscles so quickly.

“Hmph!

What do you mean, how can I?” Ye Qiu asked.

“You can’t leave.

You have to keep treating me,” Li Qianqian said authoritatively.

Ye Qiu wasn’t really planning to leave; he was just trying to scare Li Qianqian.

As he sat down again, he said to her, “Then you can’t be screaming anymore.

Otherwise, your parents might think I did something to you.”

Li Qianqian had no choice but to stay silent, though it seemed that Ye Qiu had no plans to treat that area anyway.

Ye Qiu asked her to turn over so he could treat her back.

After Li Qianqian turned over, Ye Qiu placed his left hand on her back and, just like a gentle sweep, she felt an unusual sensation.

The muscles and skin on her back where Ye Qiu’s hand passed quickly became smooth, fair, and elastic.

Li Qianqian was incredibly surprised.

She touched it lightly with her hand and found it was indeed very different from before.

She had no idea how Ye Qiu had treated her.

“What about my hands and feet?” Li Qianqian asked.

Ye Qiu had intended to continue the treatment, but felt that it was too easy and might make Li Qianqian’s parents suspicious.

“I will treat you again tomorrow, treating you today has really tired me out!” Ye Qiu said.

His current method of treatment, which is different from those of Western and Chinese medicine, involves absorbing the virus that causes muscle atrophy in Li Qianqian, thus restoring her skin to its original state.

As for whether he truly felt tired?

Ye Qiu did feel somewhat exhausted.

This was likely because he had overexerted himself in treating Li Qianqian.

After all, he had only just advanced from an ordinary mortal body to the Early Stage of the First Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.

“Do we have to wait until tomorrow?” asked Li Qianqian.

Now that she saw the contrast between her treated upper body and untreated lower body, she could scarcely believe they were parts of the same person.

Moreover, now that she had regained consciousness and saw her own hands and the unsightly appearance of the atrophied muscles on her lower body—lacking smoothness, dull, and not elastic, like an old person’s skin—it was unpleasant to look at.

“Come back tomorrow, I’m very tired,” Ye Qiu said coldly.

If it hadn’t been for Li Qianqian’s interruption earlier, he would have planned to cure her completely today.

But since Li Qianqian had such thoughts, Ye Qiu felt it shouldn’t be too quick.

“I apologize, I’m truly sorry for earlier,” Li Qianqian said.

Ye Qiu didn’t say much and asked her, “Can you dress yourself now?”

Li Qianqian shook her head.

Ye Qiu could only help her put her shirt on, then opened the door and left the room.

Lu Xiuyu and Li Zhiguo were downstairs.

Seeing Ye Qiu come down, Lu Xiuyu quickly asked, “Doctor Ye, how is my daughter doing?”

“She can speak now, but I will come again tomorrow to continue her treatment,” Ye Qiu said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiuyu hurried upstairs.

Rushing to Li Qianqian’s room, she indeed saw that Li Qianqian’s eyes were spirited.

Looking at her she asked, “Qianqian, do you recognize me?”

“Mom, I’ve worried you and dad during this time,” Li Qianqian said.

Hearing her daughter’s words, Lu Xiuyu quickly went over and hugged her, her eyes once again welling up with tears.

“Ah, if it hadn’t been for Doctor Ye last night, you wouldn’t have made it!” Lu Xiuyu said.

“Mom, I know.” At this moment, Li Qianqian had a very clear recollection; indeed, if it hadn’t been for last night when Ye Qiu guided her soul back, she would have dissipated.

“Where did he treat you just now?” Lu Xiuyu suddenly asked.

Li Qianqian’s face flushed with embarrassment, but Lu Xiuyu didn’t notice until she saw that the skin on Li Qianqian’s neck was vastly different from other areas.

It was then that Lu Xiuyu realized that these were the affected places of muscle atrophy which had now recovered to appear almost indistinguishable from the way they were before.

“Then why are your hands and legs still like this?” Lu Xiuyu asked.

“He said that treating me just now was very tiring, and he will come again tomorrow to continue,” said Li Qianqian.

Lu Xiuyu carefully examined Li Qianqian and discovered that the skin on her upper body, including her back, was smooth, fair and elastic, just like before she fell ill!
